    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    So I started this thread awhile ago and figure I should update a bit. I pulled the bipod off and now shoot strictly with bags. I’ve stopped forcing my shoulder into the rifle and all is going great. I can now stay on target and watch impacts. I cannot shoot prone as I have a bone defect in my...

    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    It is possible and I did screw down a 1x2 fitting strip last night. Getting behind the gun I am now able to really drive the gun into the pod legs. It should make a world of difference. My shooting bags are supposed to be in today and so I’ll be trying that as well. Thank you guys for the great...

    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    I bought bags and am going to remove the bipod. I think that might work much better for me.

    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    If we are shooting in the dirt then yes I load the pod. Which interesting enough I don’t have the issue. We shoot off of benches most time. Not sure how to load a pod on a smooth bench.

    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    They are Midwest Industries brakes. It’s not that the guns are recoiling hard, but more of a jump.

    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    Real silly academic question here. I’ve been shooting since I could basically walk. I have a core group of friends that I do some lr shooting with and this last weekend we all noticed that our rifles seem to recoil significantly more than what we see most of the time when we watch elr or lrp...

    Two separate .223 rifles with light primer strikes.

    If anyone is interested in an update, since installing the Wolff spring in the R700 4 months ago, it has had 1 lp strike. My customer is very happy about this. Thanks again guys.

    Question about Howa mini action .223.

    The spec sheet my rep sent me says 1:8, so here’s to hoping right?

    Question about Howa mini action .223.

    I own 3 Howa rifles and love them. I am wanting to pick up their mini action chassis in .223 but the barrel only comes in 20” length. The twist is 1:8. What do you think practical range will be with that barrel?

    Shooting Tripod

    I also use one and have never had a thought of wishing I spent more. It works awesome.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Not sure what brass you’re using but with Hornady brass and 140 eld-m’s I’m at 2850 with 41.9 grains at sea level. 44 GR of anything in the 6.5 cm is a ton.

    What are the early signs of barrel wear?

    I’m not having any issues at all. I just read on some of the 6.5cm stuff here guys talking about 1200 rounds and their barrels are done.

    What are the early signs of barrel wear?

    I know, rookie question but I’ve never shot a rifle as much as I am the Howa and I’m wondering about other than the obvious groups opening up, what signs are there? I have a 26” factory barrel with 700 rounds through it on 6.5cm shooting 2850fps.
